I MET ROSCOE JENKINS!Fresh out of the movie theater (no bootlegs here) from watching the funny flick "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins" and I must say that I enjoyed it! Pure comedy entertainment! Personally, I normally don't like Martin Lawrence's movies. Phucka Big Momma! This Roscoe flick was different though in a better way. Yes, it was predictable, but if it's funny who really cares? I was nervous about this movie having so many comedians in it with Cedric, Mo'Nique, Mike Epps and of course Martin Lawrence all having large roles. Sometimes, too many jokesters can mess a good plot up! I will admit that things worked out better than I expected. I laughed a lot more than I thought I would, which is rare for comedies of this nature when I'm concerned. Normally, the over-the-top slap stick type jokes make me frown rather than laugh, but this cast was able to pull some of them off successfully. Now, this flick is no movie classic, but it's definitely an urban comedy cult that most ethnic folks will probably enjoy. If you just want to sit back and have some good laughs check this one even if you catch it on DVD.

BTW, Mike Epps stole the show with many of his lines throughout the flick!

The music in the movie worked pretty well overall too. A mix of classics with some newer soul tracks seemed to the the trick. I mean really, who doesn't like Rick James, Maze and Kindred? No matter how many times you hear them they always sound good. If you haven't already, check out Joe's new joint/video from the movie soundtrack. Joe - Where You At (Video)
